SMARKET REVIEW
CHICAGO MARKETS.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Sept. 20.----Profit-taking
sales on the part of new buyers of
corn acquired sufficient volume to
day to operate as more than a coun
Serbalance for bullish sentiment asso-.
ciated with prospects that rainy
weather would delay receipts. The
market closed weak, c1/2 to 1% c net
lower, with December at $1.233/. to
$1.23%7 and May at $1.21% to
$1.21%/. Oats lost %e to /2c. In
provisions the outcome varied from
SiOc decline to a rise of 7c.
Although at first, the corn market
showed a somewhat pronounced up
ward tendency, the latter dealings
were mostly in favor of the bears. It
was a popular view early that the re
cent big smash in grain quotations
hald overdiscountled all bearish fac
tors in corn, as compared with other
commodities, and that the market
should now he governed by any cur
rent influence which ordinarily would
work toward higher prices.
Oats were swayed by the action of
corn.
Slowness of both domestic and for
eign shipping demand had a depress
ing effect on provisions. For the
most part higher quotations on hogs
were ignored.

1783, in entering Lhassa, the capital

PROPRIETORS CHARNED
The gambling paraplhernalia and
booze seized by Officers Melia a few
weeks ago on South Wyoming street,
was confiscated by the state this

That the mayor may he consider.
ing accepting the resie~ntion of
Truscott, which was halOduld in by
that gentleman in response to con
certed public disapproval of his ap

that when interviewed by the Pulle
tin this afternoon he would not re
iterate the statements made to the
Consumers' league colllnitlto and
the press yesterday in which he de
clared he would stand by 'l'ruscott's

In response to qluestiolls by the

A lumber of members of the Con

themnselves vigorously with the ac
tions of some market patrons who
have Lerated the dealers there on
the. grounds that the market oprices
were a cent or so higher than'the
tIrices charged on similar articles at
some of the big stores. It was de.
clared that thie prices in the stores
were caused directly by the low
prices on the public miarkiet and thai
the stores had lowered their prtices
in order to "bust up" the mart.
"Whien the Consumers' league was
organized," said one of the ladies.
"we anticipated that as soon as the
market got to going successfully,
such stores as Luteys would immedi
ately cut their prices to a point near
ly equal to, and in some articles
lower than those at the market. This
of course, is done to take the trade
away from the market anld render
it. unsuccessful. Then, as soon as
the market is a thing of the past, the
stores would again raise their priceR
to the old and exorbitant levels.
"Among the agreements the Con

New York, Sept. 20.-Workers in

navy of ficials, United States shipping

The letters received here stated
that existing wage scales would be
retained until after the first of next

MAINTAINING SILENCE

Washington. Sept. 20.-Officials
here are maintaining a silence re

pan won't make a statement on the
return of Shantung. This is in line
with the policy of not commenting
on Shantung in any way until Japan
makes a definite move. It is known,
however, that officials and adminis
1tration senators have been hopeful
'hat Japan would make some state

Abnormial Advainices.
Before the war and under normal
conditions, if the prices of coaminodi
ties were advanced, as a rule the inc
creaise amounlted to onlly a simall per'
'cent over former qulotations. It was
considered a legitimate practice for
Sthe merchant to iapply the advanced
cost to anly goods of the same. com
modity on hand. The same practice
is being pursued today, and in somet
cases abnormal advanlces are being
pryamided and the pirofit is absorbed
by the merchant. Itnder plresent cint
ditions, is the merchant entitled to
ssuchl profits? We think not. An av
erage price should be used.
The commission will soon be in po
sition to conduct formal hearings
throughout the state, but owing toi
the method in which tlie nrovisions
of the law must be applied, it will

Hagar.
The beautiful Egyptian girl who,
as maid, aroused Sarah's jealousy
some four thousand years ago, was
the mother of the man who made a
great religion-Ishmael, the founder
of Islam, the progenitor of the Arab
race. The story is touchingly told in
the Book of Genesis: Hagar, the out
cast in the Wilderness, receives the
angel's message, and the fountain
of waters is shown to her and to her
famishing son, the baby Ishmael.
